Release Version 1.13

Posted by Felix on Thursday, August 21, 2025

We released Version 1.13

The resistance and pixi release.

QGis users please note (after updating the plugin): do not forget to run Admin -> Update AvaFrame from within the toolbox to receive the updated core as well.

IMPORTANT NOTE:: This release has a noticeable difference in the way com1DFA treats resistance areas! With the new default setup, the resistance has a much stronger effect, including removal of mass. Please see https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16893215 for more information on differences (German only) and/or investigate the effects for your application. Our resistance benchmarks show the difference as well, we will include the report and updated benchmarks in the next minor release.

Additional modifications of note:

  • We moved to using pixi as our development environment, see the documentation for more information
  • Added scarp tools for com6Rockavalanche (will also show up in the QGis Connector)
  • Added two new modules: com8PSA and com9MoTVoellmy; this is in a purely development stage yet.
  • Added particle stopping and surface adaptation according to deposition and erosion in com1DFA
  • Added faster backtracking for com4FlowPy
